Hi Folks,

Well 2 years of intermittent writing and my first historical novel is nearing completion.  I'm happy to say that WARHORN is coming to a eReader near you this December!!

There have been a ton of 14 hour days and late nights mixed with cotton-eyed mornings, but every step has been fun, fun, fun.  It's terrifying how fast time goes in my studio aka wordmill.

Tell us about the book I hear you demand.  Sorry, yes about the book.  We pretty much all know about Hannibal Barca and his storming the Alps with a herd of elephants right?  There is so much more to this story though and while the 2nd Punic War will be a theme in WARHORN, Hannibal is not the central character.  Instead I have opted to make Caros, a young man, native to Iberia, the hero.
Through his eyes you will read about how his people, the Bastetani of Iberia, get caught up in Hannibal's quest.  From his point of view you will see how events unfolded in 219 BC which led to Hannibal's epic tale. Let me stress right away this is not a political dissection of events.  This is a story about people.

WARHORN could be called a 'swords and sandals' historical fiction novel.  There is plenty of action and I hope the drama of those times will give you an insight into the obscure lives of ordinary Iberians.  I certainly spent many hours pulling details from various historical works.  WARHORN does not tell of Hannibal's epic journey, the book concludes before this, but never mind as Caros will be back to serve in the sequel.

Keep watching this space for the release date.  I will be releasing the book on Amazon.co.uk and .com this December and the initial price will be zilch.  Whowhaa - you read that right, for 5 days this book will be priced as FREE.  There is a very lucid reason for this - I want to hear your thoughts on the book by way of little ittybitty gold stars and a couple of lines on Amazon's review page.  As an indie author this is a make or break thing and reviews are vital so please download and review asap once the book becomes available.

Thank you in advance :)
Glenn
